Show Notes

In 2000, Marion Jones Jones won five medals at the Sydney Olympics. She was celebrated as the fastest woman in the world, appeared on the cover of “Vogue,” and was sponsored by Nike. But then, she lost everything. In 2003, she lied to federal investigators about performance enhancing drugs. In the end, Marion was stripped of her Olympic medals, and was sentenced to prison. More than two decades later, Marion Jones is back in the limelight to share the wisdom she’s earned from her biggest mistakes.
